New city police chief to start in March
by devon unger
staff writer

Morgantown has hired a
new police chief.
Edward Preston, currently
deputy chief of police in New
Bern, N.C., will officially begin his tenure in Morgantown
on March 21. He has spent the
last 18 years as a member of
the New Bern Police Department including the last four as
deputy chief.
Prior to joining the NBPD,
Preston served as a squadron
legal officer for the Marines
in Cherry Point, N.C., and is
a veteran of the Persian Gulf

War. He received a degree in
criminal justice administration from Mount Olive College
in New Bern and received his
Juris Doctorate from the Concord Law School of Kaplan
University.
Preston’s salary will be
$89,000 per year, according to
City Manager Terrence Moore.
He said Preston’s credentials
were impressive, and this salary is consistent with the market value to retain an individual like Preston.
“To secure an individual
in that type of capacity, that’s
about what one would pay, if
not even more,” Moore said.

“That’s simply consistent with
the marketplace for a community of our size, scope, needs
and desires. Given Mr. Preston’s educational and professional background, it’s definitely worth the commitment.”
Originally from Huntington, W.Va., Preston moved to
Florida to attend high school
after his parents divorced and
his mother remarried. She has
since returned to Huntington,
where she and several other
relatives are excited for his return to the state.
“My mom, my cousins,
grandmother – happy would
be an understatement,” Pres-

ton said. “My mom and stepdad moved back to West Virginia after Hurricane Charley,
and they take care of my
grandmother now. She’s over
in Mingo County.”
Preston said his first goal
upon arriving in Morgantown
would be to assess the department to see what needs
to be done. He doesn’t expect
to make any major changes
initially.
“I’m not a big fan of fixing
things that aren’t broken. After I make an assessment and
I see where I think improvements can be made, then I will
set some goals for improve-

The great debate

ments that need to be made,”
he said.
While he does not have direct experience administering
a town with a large, seasonal
student population, he said
his familiarity with Greenville,
N.C., home of East Carolina
University, has given him some
idea of how a large university
can impact a municipality.
“I’m very familiar with
Greenville, North Carolina,
and have assisted in Greenville during certain states of
emergency or other things that
have happened over the years,”

Univ. to hire 30
new faculty by
semester’s end
BY TRAVIS CRUM
CITY EDITOR

The smoking task force at
West Virginia University held
a town meeting Monday to offer faculty, staff and students
an opportunity to speak about
potential changes to the University’s smoking policy.
The primary topic of the
evening was whether or not
it would be feasible for the entire campus to be smoke-free.
The Health Sciences Campus
was the first to do so in 2009.
C.B. Wilson, associate provost for Academic Personnel
and task force chair, presided
over the discussion.
“We’ve not finalized anything. We want to take comments into account as we
move forward,” Wilson said.
“We’ve ran focus groups prior
to get further ideas.”

with the task force.
Since University President
James P. Clements implemented it in December 2009,
the task force has established
two goals: to reduce the exposure of tobacco in the campus
community and to respect everyone’s rights and opinions.
Catherine Whitworth, program coordinator for community medicine, suggested
if the task force changes
the policy and the campus
is made smoke-free, they
should announce a date and
move forward.
“Those interim policies are
not such a good idea. It would
be much better to simply decide what we’re going to do,
announce the date, and go for
it, rather than invest the time
and energy and expense in
establishing temporary policies that would possibly have
to change,” Whitworth said.

To increase the awareness of
blood donations to the Morgantown community, Mr. and Ms.
Mountaineer have decided to
join forces with the American
Red Cross Blood Services.
Dave Slusarick and Macy
Miller are using their titles and
connection to West Virginia
University to get the word out to
the students, faculty and community to help the American

Red Cross.
“We need their help,” said
Adam Reaves, donor resources
field representative for the
American Red Cross. “If it is on
or off campus, they are still donating blood or if they are just
volunteering.”
Slusarick and Miller said they
felt passionate about helping
the American Red Cross due to
its lack of blood supply.
“They had to cancel a lot of
drives in January due to inclement weather,” Slusarick said.

“This is the lowest the blood
supply has been in a decade; we
saw a need here, and we wanted
to fill it.”
Slusarick said 35 percent of
people are eligible to donate
blood, but only 5 percent actually donate.
Slusarick and Miller said
because of the close community and willingness of students to help that the University can help the lack of supply
in Morgantown.
“Many students do not do-

nate because they said they
were not personally asked,” Slusarick said. “Consider this your
invitation.”
Slusarick and Miller have
started a Facebook group called
“Mountaineers Donate Blood,”
to generate awareness for the
cause. The Facebook group will
also be a central location for
pulling donors and volunteers.
“Students who want to donate can get information here,”

West Virginia University
is preparing to hire up to 30
faculty members by the end
of the academic year to keep
up with peer institutions.
Search committees for
the hiring of the faculty will
most likely be forming by the
end of March, said University Provost Michele Wheatly
during a Faculty Senate Executive Committee meeting
Monday. The 2020 Plan set
the goal of hiring more than
70 faculty members in the
next few years, she said.
The type of faculty hired
would be established by
herself and the deans of the
colleges who need them,
Wheatly said. It was discussed whether or not the
University should hire more
research-driven faculty or
those who focus primarily
on education in their fields.
“People ask me, if I announced the hiring of 100
faculty and we only get 90,
we failed,” said University
President James P. Clements.
“No, that just means we have
90 more than we did. This is
something that we have to
do on a regular basis just to

keep up.”
The timetable for hiring
the faculty would vary based
on the hiring cycles of the
various colleges, Wheatly
said.
Ruth Kershner, Faculty
Senate Executive Committee member, asked about the
University’s goal to hire married faculty into the 70 new
positions.
The University plans to advertise the new positions for
each college along with its
benefits in hopes of attracting a couple, Wheatly said.
Wheatly said gay couples
would not be discriminated
against during hiring just because West Virginia does not
provide benefits to same-sex
spouses, such as other states
with domestic partner rights.
The WVU Legal Council was working on a benefits package that would cover
same-sex couples, she said.
“We want to make sure
everyone has benefits while
we wait on progress for the
things that are harder to
change,” she said.
Also during the meeting,
Robert Griffith, Faculty Senate liaison to the Board of

Members of West Virginia
University’s Student Government Association met with
students Monday night to
discuss issues with safety and
transportation during SGA’s
monthly Speak Up event in
Ming Hsieh Hall.
Speak Up events encourage students to share their
thoughts and opinions about
possible campus improvements with University administrators and local officials.
Corey Farris, director of
housing and interim dean of
students; Lt. Sperringer of the
Morgantown Police Department; and Sgt. Peggy Runyon
of the University Police Department fielded the students’
questions and helped provide
insight into their concerns.
Daniel Brummage, SGA
chief-of-staff, introduced the
online PhotoVoice project
and shared photos from the
recent safety walk, which assessed potential safety hazards in the downtown and
Sunnyside areas.
“The idea behind it is that

students can go online and
upload photos, which will be
compiled into an album. That
album will be taken to University police, City Hall and University administrators,” Brummage said.
The project is being headed
by SGA Gov. Tracy Speilman,
who was absent from the forum due to an illness. The
project lets users upload photos of areas that could be dangerous for students in hopes
of getting the problems fixed.
David Small, SGA intern,
raised concerns about the
safety of the area surrounding
the Willey Street Dairy Mart.
Small suggested improving
the area’s lighting to provide
greater nighttime visibility for
students.
The Dairy Mart parking lot
was the scene of a Nov. 7, 2009,
attack on former WVU student
Ryan Diviney. The attack allegedly involved 10 to 12 people attacking Diviney. He remains in a coma-like state in
his Ashburn, Va., home.

Brandon Beacom, president of Tobacco Free Mountaineers, said he agreed with
the possibility of a smoke-free
campus and offered suggestions from Oklahoma State
University, which imposed a
smoking ban in 2008. He said
enforcement of a ban should
not be in effect for the first six
months to a year.
“They handed out cards.
Whenever they would notice someone smoking, they
would educate. They would
inform them and ask them to
be courteous of the policy and
what it’s about,” Beacom said.
After the first year, Beacom
suggested citations be given
out, and if these $10 to $20
tickets are not paid off in reasonable time, a hold would be
placed on their accounts, similar to parking tickets.
Whitworth suggested clear
and ample “no smoking” signs
would be key to enforcement.
She said she works at the HSC
and said most people comply
with the rule.

Mart is private property, and it
would be up to the lot’s owner
to improve lighting.
“I’ve been here for 20 years,
and it (the parking lot) has
been the same for 20 years,” he
said.
Sperringer also said the
parking lot is one of the city
police’s highest priority areas.
Also during the event, some
students raised concerns with

to get their answers.”
Reaves said the Facebook

up and where it will be held.

“I do encounter people that
don’t comply, every few days,”
Whitworth said. “As long as I
have a sign to point to and say
‘did you realize this campus
was smoke-free?’ They usually stop.”
Another proposed scenario, would be smoke-free
zones which could be implemented instead of a campuswide ban.
Kolby Sutphin, a freshman
geology major, said he did not

think the smoking ban would
work and that smokers would
still find ways around the policy. He suggested shelters be
made for smokers in designated areas instead of not allowing tobacco completely.
“We would like to smoke
somewhere where we can’t
bother anyone,” Sutphin said.
“Give us a shelter, and we
would smoke there.”

“The worst is when people
say I didn’t know about it,” he
said. “The Facebook page will
really help the students and
community figure it all out.”
Reaves said he believes the
partnership with Slusarick and
Miller as Mr. and Ms. Mountaineer will help the American
Red Cross recruit more donors.
“We are here one or two

times a week doing blood
drives,” Reaves said. “So letting people know we are here
and where they can go is a huge
help.”
The next blood drive will be
on Thursday from 9 a.m. until
3 p.m. in the Health Sciences
Center.

Buckles, last WWI doughboy,
dies at 110 in West Virginia

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP)
— He didn’t seek the spotlight,
but when Frank Buckles outlived every other American
who’d served in World War I,
he became what his biographer
called “the humble patriot”
and final torchbearer for the
memory of that fading conflict.
Buckles enlisted in World
War I at 16 after lying about
his age. He died Sunday on his
farm in Charles Town, nearly a
month after his 110th birthday.
He had devoted the last years
of his life to campaigning for
greater recognition for his former comrades, prodding politicians to support a national
memorial in Washington and
working with friend and family spokesman David DeJonge
on a biography.
“We were always asking ourselves: How can we represent
this story to the world?” DeJonge said Monday. “How can
we make sure World War I isn’t
forgotten.”
Buckles asked his daughter, Susannah Flanagan, about
progress toward a national memorial every week, sometimes
daily.
“He was sad it’s not completed,” DeJonge said. “It’s a
simple straightforward thing
to do, to honor Americans.”
When asked in February
2008 how it felt to be the last
survivor, Buckles said simply,

“I realized that somebody had
to be, and it was me.”
Only two known veterans remain, according to the Order of
the First World War, a Florida
group whose members are descendants of WWI veterans and
include Buckles’ daughter. The
survivors are Florence Green in
Britain and Claude Choules in
Australia, said Robert Carroon,
the group’s senior vice commander. Choules, who served
in Britain’s Royal Navy, was
born in that country but now
lives in Australia.
Green turned 110 on Feb.
19, and Choules turns 110 in
March, he said.
Born in Missouri in 1901 and
raised in Oklahoma, Buckles
visited a string of military recruiters after the United States
in April 1917 entered what was
called “the war to end all wars.”
He was repeatedly rejected before convincing an Army captain he was 18.
More than 4.7 million people joined the U.S. military
from 1917-18. By 2007, only
three survived. Buckles went
to Washington that year to
serve as grand marshal of the
national Memorial Day parade.
Unlike Buckles, the other
two survivors were still in basic training in the United States
when the war ended, and they
did not make it overseas. When
they died in late 2007 and 2008,

I Museum in Kansas City, Mo. Biographer
and family spokesman David DeJonge said
in a statement that Frank Woodruff Buckles died early Sunday of natural causes in
his home in Charles Town, W.Va.
Buckles became the last socalled doughboy – and a softspoken celebrity.
He got fan mail almost every day, DeJonge said, and had
enough birthday cards to fill
several bushel baskets.
DeJonge had visited Buckles
late last week and was driving
back to Michigan with about
5,000 letters to organize and
answer when he got the call
telling him his friend had died.

WVU alum to star in Syfy original series
by david ryan
A&E editor

Edward Borman is a typical
office worker. After another
average day, he attempts to
make his way home – only
to be stopped by mysterious
alien invaders in the “Mercury
Men,” a new Syfy.com original series debuting later this
year.
Borman (Mark Tierno), an
employee who spends most
of his days trying to avoid
helping anyone, is suddenly
thrown into a world helping
stop evil aliens’ deadly plot.
Of course, he can’t do it
alone. In comes Jack Yaeger,
an aerospace engineer and
hero-of-the-moment, played
by West Virginia University
alum Curt Wootton.
Together, the two must un-

cover the mystery surrounding the aliens – creatures
made entirely of “solid” light
that can shoot laser beams
from their bodies – and stop
them from using their deadly
“gravity machine.”
Wootton, who graduated in
2002 with a bachelor’s degree
in theater and acting, said the
series is a throwback to cliffhanger-of-the-week adventures that once dominated
television and radio.
“It’s got the feel of the retro
series of the past,” he said.
“Every episode will leave you
with a cliffhanger. We’re trying to recreate the golden days
of serials.”
Yaeger is a former U.S. Air
Force pilot and member of the
Daring League, a group tasked
to explore alien worlds and
life forms.

“He’s got a lot of ‘Indiana
Jones’ in him,” Wootton said.
“He’s got a lot of adventure
qualities in him.”
The action hero role has
always been an ambition for
Wootton.
“I’ve always wanted to play
that type of character since
I was a kid,” he said. “Getting this chance was almost a
dream come true.”
Yaeger – like the alien invaders – is shrouded in
mystery.
“You don’t really find out
a lot about him in this first
season, but as time goes on,
you’ll learn about him more
and more,” he said.
Wootton became involved
with the series after filming
the film short (and later Web
series) “Captain Blasto” with
series creator Christopher

Preksta.
After filming a smaller version of “The Mercury Men,”
it was decided to expand the
universe and flesh out the
characters.
“The Mercury Men” short
film was featured at the 2008
San Diego Comic-Con, the
2008 Brainwash Movie Festival and the Action on Film
Festival.
Wootton said the series
was shot and filmed without
the backing of any particular
home.
The Web series offers opportunities for anyone wishing to break into acting, he
said.
“The best part about living
in today’s world is you can get
any type of camera and make

Local band seizes opportunity to
open for national acts at Coliseum
by alex mcpherson
a&e writer

What would you do if your significant other gave you a week to
do whatever you wanted?
That’s the question the Farrelly Brothers’ new film, “Hall
Pass,” tries to answer.
The movie stars Owen Wilson (“Wedding Crashers”) and
Jason Sudeikis (“Saturday Night
Live”) as Rick and Fred, a pair of
affable best friends whose wives
(Jenna Fischer and Christina
Applegate) grow tired of their
childish jokes and immature
antics and give their husbands
a week off from marriage so they
can relive their days as eligible
bachelors.
From there, Rick and Fred
– flanked by a couple other
friends, who are just there to
enjoy the show – head out for
seven days of debauchery the
two hadn’t enjoyed since their
single days.
But soon, they find out that
meeting women to hook-up
with might not be quite as easy

as they originally thought it
would be.
While the movie does show
shades of what the Farrelly’s were able to do with their
hit comedies like “Dumb and
Dumber” and “There’s Something About Mary,” unfortunately, this one could end up
being compared to some of
their less-popular films they’ve
been making over the past couple of years (“Stuck On You,”
anyone?).
Most of the gags were laughout-loud, but there were also a
lot of moments where the film
dragged.
Some of the dialogue between characters seemed forced
– an unfortunate side effect to
mostly hilarious dialogue.
Wilson and Sudeikis both
gave solid performances
and had adequate on-screen
chemistry.
However, a lot of the other
characters – in particularly, Rick
and Fred’s friends – seem to fall
into some stereotypes.
With the exception of a few
moments, none of the characters were very entertaining.

“The moment we started
walking up the ramp to the
stage, it was like that’s where
we needed to be,” said Mitch
Marozzi, West Virginia University senior mechanical
and aerospace engineering
major and drummer for The
Hide and Seek Effect.
Marozzi said he never expected the band to get a call
from local rapper and fellow student Huey Mack to
help him open for the Snoop
Dogg and Wiz Khalifa concert Friday at the WVU Coliseum, but when they did,
they knew it was an opportunity they couldn’t pass up.
“Ross (Justice) and I did
a track on his first mixtape,”

said Corey Orban, junior
secondary education major
and the band’s keyboard and
synths. “Then he asked to be
featured on one of our songs.
It’s just a really good energy, and we get good vibes
together.”
Once Huey Mack got the
call to play the show, he
looked to The Hide and Seek
Effect to be his backing band
so he could collaborate again
on his song “My Own Way”
and add some extra juice to
his own tunes.
Making the transition from
pop/rock to hip-hop was not
a painless task for Morgantown natives Justice, Orban,
Marozzi, Ryan Dalton and
Ben Brady, but it was a great
chance to grow and gain
some new experience.

“As a band, we’d never
tried anything outside the
reaches of music from our
genre, so playing hip-hop
beats seemed like a foreign
concept,” Marozzi said. “We
practiced rigorously in the
past few weeks to make sure
that we were ready to bring at
least our B+ game.”
Preparing for a sold-out
Coliseum show was no small
feat either.
Where most of The Hide
and Seek Effect’s shows had
been gigs with around 80
people, this major show was
new territory.
Yet, once they reached the
stage, the crowd’s energy fed

they knew it their moment

Poor attendance hinders smoking forum
The West Virginia University
community had the opportunity Monday night to tell the
University how they felt about
potential amendments to the
smoking policy.
And they blew it.
The WVU smoking task force
held a public forum in the
Mountainlair’s Gold Ballroom
on Monday in order to gauge
public opinion on the possibility of new amendments to the
University’s smoking policy.
Students and community
members failed to make an impact and let the few who did attend speak on their behalf. The

number of students present
didn’t reflect an honest opinion of the WVU community.
In fact, media personnel outnumbered students who were
in attendance.
Smoking on campus is, and
has been, a controversial topic
for some time now; President
James P. Clements assembled
the smoking task force in 2009
to address the issue.
The policy, which was created under President Bucklew
in 1990, is standard in regards
to what it includes: no smoking in any WVU building unless
it is an exempt residential es-

tablishment with a designated
smoking area, no smoking in
any WVU vehicles, and all WVU
buildings must have clear signs
indicating there is no smoking
inside.
This is an issue that affects
everyone in this campus community. Everyone breathes the
air that circulates throughout
this campus, and everyone has
an opinion on it.
However, the community
has a chance to influence this
decision and is instead choosing to exercise the right of
complacency.
The task force discussed the

possibility of creating “smoke
free zones.” Along with this
came talk concerning potential tobacco-free zones, which
would be around PRT stations,
curb cuts, ramps, high-traffic
walkways and handicap-accessible areas.
Those are used by most, if
not all, WVU community members at some point. Therefore,
changing them to smoke- or tobacco-free zones would have a
positive effect on some and a
negative one for others.
Freshman geology major
Kolby Sutphin was among the
few who did speak his opinion.

He said smokers would not
have a problem conforming to
changes in the smoking policy
as long as a comfortable area
was available for smokers.
He suggested the task force
supply benches, picnic tables
or some kind of amenity for
smokers.
The WVU community has
another chance to let their
voices be heard Thursday at
the Erickson Alumni Center at
5:30 p.m.
In order for the smoking task
force to make a decision that
reflects the needs of the community, a dramatic increase in

input is needed. The task force
also encourages comments on
its website: http://wvufaculty.
wvu.edu.
It is important that students,
faculty and staff attend these
forums and voice their opinions on the smoking policy. The
task force was created to ensure
everyone had a say in any new
changes that came about, so it
should not be taken for granted.
This is a decision that will affect each and every person at
WVU – not just the dozen or so
who turned up at the forum.

Barack Obama’s push for health

needs. Obama’s budget director, Peter Orszag, very bluntly
propagated this falsehood in
the Washington Post, in which
he is quoted as saying, “Let me
be very clear: Health care reform is entitlement reform.”
While medical inflation is
problematic, at double the rate
of overall inflation, it is not the
primary driver in the expected
expenditure growth – population aging is.
While the budget director
was factually incorrect in implying that the Affordable Care
Act would curb entitlement
spending, the bigger misrepresentation is the implication that
Social Security expenditures
are not a problem that must be
addressed. This is simply incorrect, insofar as every year that
goes by without Social Security
reform, reforms will hurt more
in their implementation.
Both the 2009 and 2010 Social Security Trustees Reports
mark 2037 as the date for insolvency. The date is very simple to decipher when looking at
the projections for revenue and
expenditures.
It is based on there being
very high cash flow surpluses
from the mid 1980s until the
mid 2000s, averaged with the
projected cash flow deficits
from 2015 onward. Clearly, this
is not sustainable.
But the true fiscal problem is
even worse. In determining the
solvency of Social Security, the

trustees count the surpluses as
if the government is holding the
physical assets in an account,
even though this is not the case.
The surpluses are used to buy
bonds from the Treasury, and
the bonds pay off other government spending. The assets
in what is commonly called a
“trust fund” are simultaneously
liabilities. So long as there isn’t
a surplus on the general budget, there isn’t a true surplus
being saved for Social Security.
Quite the opposite, America is currently facing the largest budget deficits and highest
public debt in history.
If America was amassing
national debt all those years,
while also having surpluses
from Social Security, imagine
the fiscal scenario in the upcoming years as Social Security becomes purely an addition to that deficit rather than
a mitigator.
The bond-rating agency,
Standard & Poor’s, projected
that by 2017 rising debt levels
could cause Treasury bonds to
lose their triple-A rating, falling
to junk status by the late 2020s.
Now, factor in that our Social
Security deficit only begins as
our bond rating is expected to
be lowered.
Furthermore, Social Security
is not an individual retirement
account that workers pay into,
and never was intended as one.
Rather, it is a program intended as a transfer of wealth
from the currently working to
the currently retired, with the
government promising the “investors” that future generations
will do the same for them when
they retire. This should sound
awfully suspect.
After all, if there is a decrease
in the growth of the working
population or an increase in the
retired population, people will
get a bad deal. In fact, according to Social Security’s trustee,
the only difference between
Social Security and a ponzi
scheme is “one of intent” with

no difference in the financing.
If Social Security benefits remain at the same levels, students will inherit a bad deal.
They will be forced to pay a
greater portion of their wages
to Social Security for current
beneficiaries.
Those wages could otherwise have been saved in private
investment for retirement. In

this way, keeping current benefits at current levels detracts
from current students’ retirement. If reforms took the opposite course and limited benefits,
current and upcoming beneficiaries would get a worse deal.
Either way, reform will have
to be made because the current
path is unsustainable.
Office of Management

and Budget Director Jacob
Lew,recently tried to dismiss
this reality in an interview with
The Christian Science Monitor,
saying, “Social Security does
not contribute to the deficit in
the median term…2015-2020,
so there is no need to deal with
Social Security.”
Factual error aside, this is an
admission by Obama’s admin-

istration that they will not touch
the benefits of the entrenched
interests currently receiving Social Security, or those who will
receive Social Security in the
near term.
Rather, the administration
will put further jeopardy on
the retirement of our generation of students. To this, students ought to be opposed.

Having faith is more useful to mankind than logical thinking
DAVID CIAROLLA
coRRESPONDENT

Strict rationalists mock the
notion of faith. What reason
do we have to trust anything
that requires us to believe it
… to believe it? Circular reasoning practically defines the
concept.
Hypocrites clutch logic as
a security blanket for controversial views and follow their
feelings in private.
The honest person realizes
people grow only with faith,
for one must approach every
new idea with a blind trust
that it is something worth his
time.
The Greeks have four words

for love - agape, eros, philia
and storge.
Eros defines the deep, passionate love one feels in romantic relationships.
Young teenagers have no
concept whatsoever of this
kind of love, but no one calls
them illogical for believing in
it.
Common wisdom says love
requires trust. Why? Because
being right is not as important
as being happy.
Any romantic alive would
trade a lifetime of logic for
what the poet Silvia Plath calls
the “fierce brief fusion, which
dreamers call real, and realists, illusion.”
I have faith in heartfelt music, lose myself in fantasy novels and believe in connections
with strangers who may not
feel the same way.

I have faith in my imagination, which takes me down
more roads to joy and creativity than science ever will.
And I do not argue for light
imagination akin to children’s
games, but for radically liberated imagination.
David Bowie had the right
idea in wholly immersing himself in imagined
personalities.
Soldiers and mythical heroes are deemed noble for
following their duty without
hesitation.
Where would Harry Potter be if he constantly halted
his crusade to reexamine evidence? His unjustified impulse both saved his friends’
lives and made his own far
more interesting.
Renowned atheist Richard
Dawkins ridicules faith as

“the great cop-out, the great
excuse to evade the need to
think and evaluate evidence.”
He finds the virtue of faith
fundamentally dangerous,
but I find the demand for evidence unrealistically forbidding. Evidence-based
decisions are the ultimate
authoritarian telling people what to do, for they must
adhere to the truth of the
universe.
This Orwellian approach
to behavior is both undesirable and unworkable. It denies beautiful characteristics
of human nature such as rebellion and autonomy.
People need to spend the
majority of their lives under
the illusion of independence.
Evidence happens to exist showing many of the risks
in life as worth taking, but no

one considers this evidence
before making decisions. People simply have faith in the
imagined future they want.
Militant rationalists mistakenly target this faith as the
culprit for religious violence
and scientific retardation.
Dogmatism and disregard for evidence cause these
problems, not faith alone. Religious people do not cause
problems for society.
Dogmatists who arrogantly
impose their beliefs on others, with claims of universal knowledge unavailable
to most of humanity, cause
disasters like the Sept. 11
attacks.
In the same vein, those who
refuse to consider evidence
that challenges their beliefs
should not argue for the wellbeing of the public.

Their selfish, protective agendas impede scientific curricula in schools and
tether rational thought in
children.
People can reconcile faith
with public opinion by willingly exposing themselves to
objective evidence, for then
their religions will not deny
the Earth’s orbit around the
Sun or the evolutionary history of modern species.
One can demonstrate most
unjustified beliefs to be impossible or unlikely.
So far I have not made any
major life-changing decisions
about faith.
I certainly revere the right
to do so, though, because
impulsive dreams make life
worth living.
Faith may be illogical at
times, but it is not wrong.

“It’s all about the wordplay.”

Once again, DC Universe
Animated Original Movies
knocks it out of the park with
its latest adaptation, “All-Star
Superman.”
Based on the miniseries
of the same name written by
Grant Morrison and drawn
by Frank Quitely, “All-Star Superman” tells one of the most
critically acclaimed tales of
the Man of Steel.
The story starts with Superman (James Denton) rescuing
Dr. Leo Quintum, a researcher
who has taken a team to explore the sun, from Lex Luthor’s (Anthony LaPaglia) latest criminal attempt.
While Superman saves the
day, his cells are overloaded
with solar radiation: Superman is now dying.
Although Luthor is arrested
and given the death sentence
for his crimes against humanity, his plan succeeded, and
he seemed happily resigned
to his fate.
Besides Luthor and Quintum, nobody else knows
about Superman’s fate, so he
decides to do what he can for
Earth before he passes on, as
well as show Lois Lane (Christina Hendricks) just how
much he loves her.
The story focuses on Superman’s attempts to make
the world a better place without him, his urge to truly re-

deem Luthor and his relationship with his intrepid reporter
girlfriend.
The story captures the main
themes of the original graphic
novel, and, while it does cut
out the importance of Superman’s “12 Labors” and most
of the relationship with his father, what it does get are the
most important elements of
the original tale.
The writer of this film was
late author Dwayne McDuffie,
who died earlier this week;
This was a proper final note
on an illustrious career.
Denton’s performance as
the Man of Tomorrow shows
the necessary elements of Superman as necessary, but isn’t
very memorable in the role.
LaPaglia’s Luthor, however, is probably up there
with Clancy Brown’s time in
the role, portraying the cunningness and wit, as well as
almost dripping with evil in
every syllable.
Hendrick’s performance of
Lane is also quite good, and
fans would be lucky if she returned to the role.
Also of note were Linda
Cardellini as Lex’s niece, Nasthalthia, and Alexis Denisof as
Quintum.
If only there was as much
Quintum in this movie as
there is in the trade.
Also, while the film seems
to try hard to capture Quitely’s
unique art style from the original comic, it falls just short of
the goal.
That isn’t to say the art style
of the film isn’t good, it just

wasn’t as good as it could
have been.
The best part about this
movie is just about anyone
can pick it up and watch a Superman adventure.
So many already know
about the Man of Steel and the
eternal rivalry with his bald
antagonist. Just knowing the

barest of details will still keep
viewers in the know.
Superman fans, comic
book fans and animation
fans everywhere: This film is
for you.

Only after the series was complete did it eventually find a
home on Sydy.com, where it will
debut in 10, seven to eight minute episodes.
Wootton didn’t rule out the
possibility of the series moving
to the main Syfy network, depending on the reaction it receives online.
“You’ll watch the episodes and
you’ll be at the edge of your seat,”
he said. “You can’t go wrong with

HOROSCOPES
BY JACQUELINE BIGAR
BORN TODAY This year, you move in
a new direction. Many people might not
have planned for a new start, but suddenly, you are on an unforeseen path. Be
open to groups, meetings and people in
general who support your concerns and
demonstrate caring. Use care with those
who project their issues onto you. Your
finances could improve. Still, be careful with spending. If you are single, you
could meet the right person through a
friend. Use care if you’re meeting someone on your own. This person might not
be all that you think. If you are attached,
the two of you experience more closeness if supported by frequent outings as
a couple. AQUARIUS demonstrates his or
her caring through loyalty.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHHH
A meeting brings forth surprising information. Your instincts tell you which way
to go with a friendship. The unexpected
draws strong feelings. A friendship builds
because of your ability to flex. Tonight:
High energy marks your actions.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHH Manage a need to move forward until you
have connected all the dots. Your instincts encourage you to find information. Reach out to someone at a distance. Feelings need to be expressed
at this point. Tonight: Could be late but
enjoyable.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHHH
Keep reaching out for others. The unexpected jolts the community or your
workplace. A partner supports you as
you become more spontaneous. Meet-

ings, discussions and actions draw very
positive results. Do you know what you
want? Tonight: Feed your mind.
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHH Others play a significant role in your choices.
Still, you might want to have an intense
discussion with someone whose judgment you respect. Accept a compliment
gracefully, even if you are uncomfortable.
Tonight: Follow another’s suggestion.
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHH Others
seem to be running around changing the
lay of the land, so to speak. Your plans
might be subject to disruption. You see
what is happening. Start discussing what
you see. It is important for others to put in
their two cents. Tonight: Accept an offer.
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH Juggle and accomplish as much as you can.
You could be taken aback by someone’s
unpredictability. Be honest -- is this manifestation new? An associate or partner
pitches in, making a big difference. Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise.
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHHH
Your playfulness and directness when
dealing with others will make all the difference. Laughter surrounds a child or
loved one. You find interacting to be
quite fun and a stress-buster. Express
your feelings to key people. Tonight:
Light your fire!
SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHH Stay
steady and centered. You might have too
much energy for many people. Funnel
it where you can make a difference. A
personal matter or an investment might
look very good. The operative word here

is “look.” Remember that. Tonight: Head
home.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHH
Return calls. Squeeze in some networking. Make time for creative problem-solving with several other people who you
enjoy input from. Say more of what you
feel more often, even if you feel vulnerable. Tonight: Hang out with friends.
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHH
You are savvy when dealing with your
finances. Still, an unexpected demand
or perhaps an expenditure causes a regrouping. Play Ralph Nader with any potential repairs or necessary purchases.

It’s never easy to say goodbye
to a senior class.
That’s especially true for the
West Virginia women’s basketball team this season.
Monday night marked the
final time that the Mountaineers’ five seniors – Madina Ali,
Liz Repella, Vanessa House,
Korinne Campbell and Sarah
Miles – would make a trip down
the Old Gold and Blue carpet.
And, it’s an experience they
will never forget.
“It didn’t really hit me until the start of pregame talk,”
Campbell said. “I got a little
teared up, and once I came off
the floor for the last time, I was
just like, ‘I’m going to miss this
so much.’”
The win over the Red Storm
marked the group’s 94th win in
a WVU uniform, the most for

any group of seniors in school
history.
And not only are they the
winningest, this year’s group of
seniors may be more crucial to
their team’s success than any
others have been.
“This is a great group,” said
West Virginia head coach Mike
Carey. “I just hope that I can
have another group like them.”
Averaging a combined 45.6
points per game, the five seniors have been responsible
for more than 71 percent of the
Mountaineers’ offensive output
this season.
That impact on the court
was felt once again on Monday night. Led by Repella’s 22
points, the West Virginia seniors
accounted for 62 of the Mountaineers’ points in the game, including the first 24 of the game.
And the impressive performance by the group came just
at the right time, as the Moun-

taineers were in need of a win
to help jumpstart another possible run throughout the Big
East Conference and NCAA
Tournaments.
“We needed to win, no doubt
about it,” Carey said. “And (the
seniors) deserve it. They’ve
done a lot of stuff on and off the
floor. I’m proud of them.
“And I would’ve told them
that after the game, I still
would’ve been proud of them,
win or lose.”
Outside of Repella’s 22
points, the other seniors also
had solid nights against the Red
Storm.
Miles had 16 points and five
assists, and Ali nearly had a
double-double with nine points
and nine assists.
In limited action, House had
two points.
But the most encouraging
performance of the night came
from Campbell. The Princeton,

N.J., native has struggled to be
consistent on offense this season. On Monday night, she finished with 13 points and seven
rebounds.
“It’s good to have (Korinne)
scoring. It gives us another option on offense,” Carey said. “If
we can have her going, Sarah
going and Liz going, we can
score some points.”
While Monday night’s Senior Night was the final chapter in the five seniors’ career
at the WVU Coliseum, they all
agreed their story is nowhere
near close to being over.
“Our season was filled with
a lot of disappointment ... You
can’t dwell on that, especially
now,” Repella said. “We have
to take this win and build on it.
That’s what I was telling them
in there.
“It’s not over yet.”

Ohio State takes back top spot in AP Top 25 poll
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — After getting through their toughest
stretch of the season, Ohio State is
back at No. 1.
Marking the third week in a
row The Associated Press Top 25
poll has had a new team on top,
the Buckeyes climbed a spot over
Duke, which lost at Virginia Tech on
Saturday night.
The Buckeyes welcome their return to the top.
“I tell our team all the time we
want to be No. 1 at the end of the
season,” coach Thad Matta said on
Monday. “We want to be playing
our best basketball in March. Moving to No. 1 is a tribute to how hard
our guys have worked all year. We
appreciate the recognition and our
guys certainly deserve it.”
The Buckeyes were No. 1 for four
weeks after reeling off a 24-0 record. Then came losses at Wisconsin and at Purdue in a span of nine
days, sandwiched around a win
over Michigan State.
Coming off two wins, and with
two regular-season games remaining, the Buckeyes have a quick
turnaround after Sunday’s 8261 home win over Indiana with a
game at Penn State on Tuesday
night. Then comes a showdown
at home with No. 10 Wisconsin on
Sunday.
The Buckeyes (27-2, 14-2) need
one win to clinch at least a share of
their fourth Big Ten championship
in six years. Two wins, and they’re
assured of their third outright title
in that span.
David Lighty, a fifth-year senior
who is the Buckeyes’ defensive specialist and third-leading scorer, said
the immediate concern is winning
the conference title.
“It means a lot. That’s our No. 1
goal right now,” he said. “That’s our

Also, imagine how good the
Buckeyes would be if Evan Turner
– last year’s consensus national
player of the year and the No. 2 pick
in the NBA draft – had returned for
his senior season. Matta is 285-87
in 11 years as a head coach – an average annual record of 26-8 – during stints at his alma mater, Butler,
along with Xavier and Ohio State.
Now the Buckeyes play in big
games on national television all
the time. He and his players have
gotten used to the glare of the
spotlights.

The struggling West Virginia tennis team lost again
this weekend, getting shut
out 7-0 by Syracuse.
The Mountaineers move to
2-7 on the year after the loss.
“We really looked like we
didn’t want to play this weekend,” said head coach Tina
Samara. “We had no intensity, and we just didn’t show
up to play. It’s not fun for
me; I can’t imagine it’s fun
for (our players).”
WVU’s No. 3 doubles pair
of Ashley Pilsbury and Melis
Tanik registered the lone victory for the weekend, beating
Syracuse’s Jacquelynn Tang
and Aleah Marrow 8-3.
The Mountaineers’ only
other close match came in
the No. 1 doubles match,
when Mary Chupa and Veronica Cardenas were defeated 8-6 at the hands of
Syracuse’s Maddie Kobelt
and Emily Harman.
“They played harder than
us in just about every match,”
Samara said. “We just didn’t
look like we wanted to be
there. It looked like we were
just going through the motions and handing them a
win.”

A bye would mean the
Mountaineers would only
have to win four games to
clinch their second-straight
Big East Championship, instead of winning five games
in five days – a nearly impossible task.
The team’s chances of repeating as champs are unlikely, of course, given the
team’s scoring struggles, size
disadvantages and depth issues. Yet, if the Mountaineers were able to reach the
Big East quarterfinals, it
would help the team’s seeding in the NCAA Tournament
tremendously.
Since the Big East first implemented the double-bye
bracket format in 2009, only
one team that played a firstround game has ever made it
to the quarterfinals. That was
Cincinnati last season, which
upset Louisville 69-66 before
falling to West Virginia.

was canceled after inclement weather conditions kept
the Wildcats from completing the trip.
“We’re going to have to
come out with a new attitude the rest of this season,”
Samara said. “We can’t win
like this. We just can’t do it.
As a coach, there really isn’t
much more I can say. Hopefully something clicks in
practice. Sometimes that is
all it takes.”
The Mountaineers will
look to bounce back March 9
when they travel to Duquesne
to battle the Dukes.
Samara said she will use
the 10-day break to try to
bring out the intensity the
team has shown at times this
season.
“It starts at practice. We
have to work hard in practice as hard as we would in
a match,” she said. “We have
to treat every situation with
match-like intensity.”
Samara also said she is
waiting for a few individuals
to step up and turn things
around this season.
“We have a chance to
bounce back and turn it
around,” Samara said. “The
(Big East) Conference Tournament keeps getting closer.
We have to make some improvements to compete.”

this weekend when they

“Its a rollercoaster season,” Van Zant said. “We’re

have to worry about upsetting Connecticut and Louisville, first.
Finishing the season on a
three-game winning streak –
a feat the team hasn’t accomplished since early January –
would make WVU the team
with the most momentum
entering the Big East tournament, outside of St. John’s.
The last two times the
Mountaineers have won at
least two-straight entering
the conference tournament,
the team at least finished in
the Big East semifinals and in
the Elite Eight.
The pressure is on West Virginia. It has been all season.
If this team could somehow ignore it and finish in
the top eight of the conference standings, it would be
quite a feat. An impressive
showing in the Big East Tournament would be even more
eye-opening.
All of that, though, depends on how the Mountaineers finish this week.

Six former West Virginia football players have been spending
the last few days working out
for NFL scouts at the 2011 NFL
Combine.
On Monday, defensive lineman Chris Neild and linebacker
J.T. Thomas worked out and had
solid performances.
Neild had the 10th best bench
press number for defensive lineman with 30 reps.
Thomas had the seventh best
40-yard dash time (4.68 seconds)
and the ninth most bench press
reps (23) out of the linebackers.
Former WVU running back
Noel Devine didn’t run because
of an ankle injury, but he did
have 24 bench press reps. He
came in weighing 179 pounds,
which was 19 more pounds than
he weighed-in at the Senior
Bowl in January. He had an interview with the Atlanta Falcons
this week.
Former WVU slot receiver Jock
Sanders measured in at 5-foot6, two inches below his height
in the 2010 WVU football media
guide. He ran a 40-yard dash in
4.53 seconds, which was in the
middle of the pack for receivers. Most of his numbers were
near the middle, but he finished
10th in the 20-yard shuttle (4.13
seconds).
WVU cornerback Brandon Hogan and safety Robert Sands,
who was measured at 6-foot-4,
participate in drills today.
Sands said to cbssports.com
he would be comfortable playing linebacker at the next level.
“At West Virginia I was going
against short, speedy guys every
day like Noel Devine, Jock Sanders and Tavon Austin,” Sands said
in the interview. “That would
be nothing new to me. I’m just
working on my craft, so I can do
the little things right.”
No top 25 for WVU
For the first time this season, the West Virginia men’s and
women’s basketball teams find
themselves out of the top 25 at
the same time.
After being in the top 25 since

the start of the season, the WVU
women’s team fell out of the
ranking for the first time this
year, after losing seven of its last
nine games.
West Virginia’s men’s team received votes in the AP top-25
poll. It received the 30th most
votes.
It’s the first time since the final poll of the 2008-09 season
both teams have been unranked.
WVU finished the regular season
last year both in the top 10.

Crucial
week ahead
for WVU
The Big East Conference
Tournament will start early for
the West Virginia men’s basketball team.
After all the Mountaineers
have been through this season, so much of their potential postseason success will
come down to their last two
games of the regular season
this week against No. 16 Connecticut and No. 11 Louisville.
Both games are at home
and are against two of the top
teams in the Big East. Both
have standout players, and
both opposing coaches are
future members of the hall of
fame.
It is undoubtedly the most
important week of the season for the Mountaineers,
and the two most vital games
for the team’s success in the
postseason.
No, not because they need
to secure a bid in the NCAA
Tournament – they likely already did that with their win
over Rutgers Sunday, which
guaranteed the team won’t
have a losing season in the Big
East Conference.
But more so, the next two
games will determine whether
the team will receive the important first-round bye in the
Big East Tournament next
week, and will also set the tone
for how WVU will perform in
the tournament.
Currently, the team is in a
four-way tie for seventh place
in the conference standings.
With the league’s current format, teams that finish at least
eighth in the conference
standings earn a first-round
bye.

WEST VIRGINIA 69 | ST. JOHNS 49

SUCCESSFUL SENIOR SENDOFF
Mountaineers top St. John’s
69-49 to end regular season
By Matthew Peaslee
Sports Writer

The five seniors from the
West Virginia women’s basketball team walked off the WVU
Coliseum floor for the final
time.
With just seconds to go in the
Mountaineers’ 69-49 victory
over St. John’s, the fivesome of
Madina Ali, Korinne Campbell,
Vanessa House, Sarah Miles
and Liz Repella shared in a joyful embrace as the final horn
blared for the last time.
“It was hard,” Repella said as
she tried to keep her emotions
in check at the podium following the game. “I don’t think it’s
hit me yet.”
It was a fitting finish to their
regular season career at the
Coliseum. The first 24 points
for West Virginia (22-8, 8-8 Big
East Conference) were scored
by its five seniors.
An ESPN, national television
audience witnessed the Mountaineers attempt to prove themselves worthy for a spot in the
NCAA Tournament. The Mountaineers, however, will have to
play in the first round of the Big
East Tournament Friday against
Cincinnati at 6 p.m.
“Needless to say, we needed
that one,” said WVU head coach
Mike Carey. “I wanted these seniors to go out as a winner on
the home court. That was just
as important as playing for our
life right there.”
It wasn’t until a layup from
sophomore center Asya Bussie with 3:02 left in the first half
that an underclassman got on
the board for the Mountainchelsi baker/the daily athenaeum eers. She was the only underWest Virginia’s five seniors – Madina Ali, Korinne Campbell, Vanessa House, Sarah Miles and Liz Repella – hug after being taken out classman to score in the game
for WVU.
for the final time during the Mountaineers’ Senior Night win over St. John’s Monday.

The first half was a back-andforth struggle between WVU
and the Red Storm (20-9, 9-7).
The Mountaineers couldn’t
quite pull away, with their largest lead being seven with 6:46 to
go in the opening half. St. John’s
cut it to within two late in the
first half, but WVU walked into
the locker room with a six-point
halftime lead, 30-24.
WVU put it together in the
second half, building its lead to
17 within the first seven minutes of the half. The Mountaineers created 20 turnovers in the
contest, which led to 21 points.
“When we started getting up
the lane, especially in the second half, we created some turnovers,” Carey said.
Three of WVU’s five seniors scored in double figures. Repella led all scorers
with 22 points and added nine
rebounds.
Carey was cautious with how
he played Ali and Campbell in
the first half. Both players had
two fouls apiece in the first 20
minutes, but each ended with
only three.
“I kind of sat (Ali) out the second half. Lord knows the way
our games and teams cut in,”
Carey said. “I didn’t want her
to pick up her fourth and not
play, so I kind of sat her out a little longer. But, when she came
back in and got a couple buckets, it really helped us.”
The Williamsport, Pa., native
finished with nine points and
nine rebounds; eight came on
the defensive glass.
The Mountaineers hit 14-of29 field goals in the second half,
while limiting the Red Storm to
just 10-of-28 from the field.

Mountaineers not letting winless
weekend get the best of them
By Derek Denneny
Sports Writer

After starting the season 2-1
in its first weekend, the West
Virginia baseball team had a
disappointing weekend, going 0-3 at the Hughes Bros.
Challenge.
The Mountaineers made it a
goal to come out Monday and
end the losing streak against
Wake Forest. They, however,
were unable to do so, because
the game was canceled due to
inclement weather.
“We were looking to bounce
back after a rough weekend
and come home with a win,”
said WVU head coach Greg
Van Zant. “Unfortunately the
game was canceled, so we
weren’t able to get a win, but I
think we looked a little better
in the first inning, but it’s so
hard to really gauge anything
on one inning of baseball.”

EO

E

Weather was a concern
prior to the first pitch, but the
game started as scheduled
before being canceled in the
top of the second inning due
to heavy rain that left the field
unplayable.
After WVU’s leadoff hitter
Brady Wilson flew out to right
field, second baseman Dan DiBartolomeo punched a base
hit back up the middle in the
first inning. Shortstop Grant
Buckner followed by reaching base on an error, advancing DiBartolomeo to second.
Left fielder Matt Frazer advanced the two runners with
a sacrifice bunt, moving both
runners into scoring position,
but they were stranded when
back-up catcher Matt Malloy
struck out swinging. “I’m not
really going to worry about
leaving guys on (base) in just
one inning of play,” Van Zant
said. “But, our pitcher Mar-

shall Thompson looked pretty
impressive. He had a lot of zip
on his fastball and really had
some good stuff. It’s still early,
so we’re going to try to use our
positives more than negatives
right now.”
Despite the tough weekend, Van Zant made it clear the
team morale was still as high
as it was on opening day.
“Our pitching struggled,
and we faced North CarolinaWilmington’s ace,” he said.
“Even when we struggled, everyone showed great enthusiasm, and the morale was
never down. These guys don’t
let things bother them and really try to pick up anyone that
is struggling.”
Van Zant said he just keeps
reminding the team to stay
positive.
“We have to realize it’s early,
